This beautiful Lady, Panthera Pardus, i wonder what's her "modus operandi"?
Thank you for the Great photos "Inspector"

Thank you Trrp-trrrrrr! The "scene" was good to us, giving us crucial evidence early on!



Typical of her! You never know where she might be hiding. And then - she just pops out of nowhere, and gives a few people a few good shots and then vanish again!



Maybe her relaxed mode is just a cover up... Or maybe she is innocent?



Pity indeed! We need as many of us out there to gather as much evidence as possible. She was posing beautifully for us indeed... probably all part of her seductive games!



Thanks, Pawps!



A little bit of luck does play a part in the detective game...



Well I was snapping away at her as soon as I could! One should never miss an opportunity like this...



Cheetaikie!!!! Whoohooo! How good to have my "partner in crime" on this TR. I am so glad you joined in here. I need to get as many professional opinions on this case as possible. All the guys who's worked the field before are needed!



Thanks Melphie! Posing so nicely is probably all part of her "cover up" to look so innocent...



Great to see you here, Roaneric! Join in - help me solve this mystery... We need all the help we can get. This is a high profile case!



Thank you for your writings, detective Noel. It is with great pleasure that we welcome you to the team on this report. Scatology, my dear colleague, is the study of faeces. Hence the spurfowls make great scatologists. The dungbeatles are, however, still regarded as the best in the field. There are lots of those on the Addo Scene. They are higly regarded and have right of way there! Enough of that - let's get back to business...



Oh... Ms Pardus is sly, deceiving, and flirtateous. But she is a killer of note. Many an impala have ended up dead in a tree because of her tricks! She should not be trusted, despite all of her beauty...

Careful, careful Bushbuddies do not fall for her charms. Stay focused

Stunning mugshots. Brilliant investigative work

You found your first suspect in record time

Wow bush buddies!!!!! Stunning mugshots. Definite identification can be made from those. Can put her in a lineup with the other suspects I'm sure ul find.

Thanks Sharifa - that's right - I must remain focused! More suspects around the next corner...



I like your plan, my friend - a line up! Sure would like to see all the suspects in a line...

After a great afternoon of some good detective work, we spent our evening at Berg-en-Dal, BA3U unit nr 28. Lovely spot to get all your evidence together, think about them, and start working on the suspects. But, we were not alone. In the one evening, we had visits from 3 Waterbuck, 2 rhinos, 2 hippos and 1 bushbuck coming to drink from a pond right in front of our chalet. They heard we were in the area, and came to give us their side of the story over a drink or two...

Any detective worth his/her salt, will know that to get the crucial evidence - you should be on the scene first thing in the morning! And the Bushbuddies are always aware of this - so at 5:30 they were back on the scene again. Eyes open - ready to get the next clue...

Saturday 23/2/2013 6:15 - Corner of the H3 and S110 17:15

After 17 hours and 15 minutes on the case, we met our 2nd group of suspects...



A family of 8 adults - known as the Malelane Mafia. They were obviously resting after a busy night. All we were wondering - is what they've been up to the previous night... Some of them were obviously very tired!



With the 2 Godfathers, and their 6 ladies with them, we had a lot of suspects to keep our eyes on.

The most alert was Mrs Leo:



She is married to one of the Godfathers - Mufasa Leo. Many have argued that she is a better "hunter" than the man himself. A good mugshot:



One of her sisters, Ms Simba, became alert to our presence...



Like Ms Pardus, she is a sly creature - can look very innocent - but has a killer instinct!



Then - one of the godfathers - Mufasa Leo. Behind him - one of his mistresses...



Mufasa is a ruthless killer. There are rumours that he had killed some cubs before to let his dominance be known!



Most of the time, he seemed relaxed in our presence...





But when my SO started looking at his mistress, he gave us a "What are you looking at, kid?" look...



A final mugshot of Mufasa:



He eventually got up, walked passed his brother, Scar (named so because of the burn mark he has on his shoulder - for identification purpouses), and settled in the distance under a tree.



Scar, on the other hand, seemed very relaxed. He was sleeping all the time, while his girlfriend was yawning away behind him!



We got our mugshots, took down their descriptions, and decided to move on. Chances were good that we would meet up with the mafia of the region again...

LOvely BB I absolutely love your descriptions of the mafia very clever those are a couple of good looking lions

Yohhhhhhhhhhhh there is the Godfather himself
I can hear the violin playing in the background right now ...
suspects, suspects

my detective work on the malalane mafia has obviously not been up to scratch thus far But the evidence lies before mine eyes of their zones of operation

Bushbuddies,

Suspect upon suspect found ....Wow!!! detectives discovered the mafia pride.

Pleasing to see one of the main suspects namely "Mufasa", has been put under permanent surveillance during this case. ...captured by then locked up in the Avie.

Awesome work so far detectives.

The Malelane Mafia look like a right scary bunch!

Thank goodness the Bushbuddies are on the case keeping a close eye on their every move

I'm loving this report - it's a lot of fun

The Malelane Mafia gang look a real intimidating bunch - and it looks like Mafusa has been doing a lot of protection of his territory over the years - he certainly qualifies to be called a Don

Great detective work once again

Oh dear, look at those eyes ... trying to turn on the psychpathic charm.

Wow, with the "Mafia" (Awesome Pics) around, it's getting very Intriguing now

excellent Id photos collected That lady in the tree very confident watch out for her! The mafia had a nice Dinner party! So relaxed not a worry in the world! Beautiful pics

PS.

I am sure the above is old "Scarface" Great pic
